今天带来的这本书是关于七只瞎老鼠的故事！通过七只老鼠之间的互动浅显句式重新诠释了盲人摸象的寓言！
One day seven blind mice were surprised to find a strange Something by their pond.
一天，七只瞎老鼠在池塘边发现一个奇怪的东西，很吃惊。
“What is it?” they cried, and they all ran home.
“这是什么呀？”他们喊道，然后都跑回家了。
On Monday, Red Mouse went first to find out.
“It’s a pillar,” he said.
No one believed him.
On Tuesday, Green Mouse set out. He was second to go.
“It’s a snake,” he said.
“No，” said Yellow Mouse on Wednesday.
“It’s a spear.” He was the third in turn.
The fourth was Purple Mouse. He went on Thursday.
“It's a great cliff," he said. ”
Orange Mouse went on Friday, the fifth to go.
”It's a fan!" he cried. "I felt it move."
The sixth to go was Blue Mouse.
He went on Saturday and said, "It's nothing but a rope."
Until on Sunday, White Mouse, the seventh mouse, went to the pond.
When she came upon the Something, she ran up one side, and she ran down the other. She ran across the top and from end to end.
“Ah," said White Mouse. "Now, I see. The Something is
as sturdy as a pillar,
supple as a snake,
wide as a cliff,
sharp as a spear,
breezy as a fan,
stringy as a rope,
but altogether the Something is ...
an elephant!"
那么我们从中能代领孩子学到什么呢？
看事物或事情应该从总体来看，不能片面和武断！只知道是事情的一部分就自以为是会闹笑话的，了解事物全部真相再下结论才是真正的智慧。
The Mouse Moral:
•Knowing in part may make a fine tale, but wisdom comes from seeing the whole.
